The Animals' Saviour

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter,
the cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope,
fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry.
"God," I said, "this is terrible!
Why don't You do something?"
God was silent for a moment,
and then He spoke softly.
"I have done something," He replied.
"I created you."
